    (continued from previous page)
    Couldn't tumble that creamery down.
    The peelers at night would get a great fright
    And swear on Bobbie Browne,
    They would then rejoice and raise up their voice
    In a manner to frighten the bees
    There's not luck or grace around the place
    Since they started to make the cheese.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
